Templates

Templates are reusable campaign configurations that combine domains, email delivery settings (SMTP or API), email designs, and page flow. They streamline campaign creation by providing templates that can be used across multiple campaigns.

The templates overview displays all available simulation templates, their configuration status, and associated components.

Landing Proxy	Primary proxy configuration for main campaign interaction, capturing credentials and session data from real applications
Post-Landing Page	Redirect page shown after interaction completion. Used for displaying information or redirection
After Landing Proxy	Post-capture proxy interaction for additional data collection or extended simulation scenarios
POST Redirect URL	Gophish compatible URL. (Campaign URL in Gophish) Use this keep the behavior of Gophish campaign, were after the final POST request, it redirect to this URL to complete the campaign for the recipient. Note: Does not work with proxy configurations.
